Страх и агрессия (Fear & Aggression)

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a stark picture of a world consumed by fear, amplified by constant media bombardment. The opening lines compare this pervasive dread to natural disasters – a desert sandstorm and a winter blizzard – suggesting an overwhelming, inescapable force that "climbs into people's minds." This fear isn't abstract; it's actively weaponized by screens, radio, and "yellow networks," which "shoot to kill" directly through the brain and into the heart, leaving an "burn of news." The core of the song lies in the relentless repetition of "Fear and aggression – a new confession." This phrase elevates these negative emotions to the status of a new religion, a doctrine people blindly follow. The lyrics suggest that instead of love, people are conditioned to fight, and even death becomes the "most understandable dream." This is driven by a media diet of curated tragedies: "3 catastrophes, 210 deaths," "5 sick terrorists, 2 Boeing planes smashed," and a chilling, almost unbelievable "Chief physician gave up 40 children for organs!" This relentless barrage of negativity seems designed to numb and desensitize, creating a populace that "absorbs order like a sponge." The narrator desperately calls for spiritual leaders – "Prophets" – to offer solace, whether through "Buddha, the cross, names of Allah." The plea is simple: "Just teach the children to love." The current "mass" is birthing "leviathans" and "twisted demons," and the narrator fears a "psychic stab wound" if there isn't a promise of hope, of "spring." This yearning for a return to basic human connection and a future beyond the current cycle of fear and violence is the driving force behind the song's desperate, almost frantic, plea.
